long story short - I'm 19 and took a gap year between sixth form and plans to go to uni. Problem is now I'm really confuddled, so to say.

Basically alongside my other choices I'd entered a course which was up my alley but didn't take notice that it was a top up.
Sending off my application to all choices, within days, I'd received a letter with an unconditional offer to the top up course. Obviously, I have no actual university 'level' qualifications at this point which surely beats the point of a top up course? Like why would they give me a place on the course without them? Of course (no pun intended) my highest level of academic study is A-levels and my vocational courses from sixth form.

There's still my other choices, obviously (and me being a bit numb at the time) - but why would they give me an unconditional offer on it?

That does seem pretty odd. If all you have are your A Levels then it does sound like this may be a mistake.

The best thing you can do to get an answer quickly is to contact the university and explain your situation, and ask why you were accepted. You may need to speak to someone in that particular academic department.
